at his doctrine. And when even was come, he went out of the city.

And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up
from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him,
"Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away."

And Jesus answering saith unto them, "Have faith in God. For verily I
say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, 'Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea;' and shall not doubt in his
heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to
pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you,
what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive
them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if
ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may
forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will
your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."

And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple,
there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
and say unto him:

"By what authority doest thou these things and who gave thee this
authority to do these things?"

And Jesus answered and said unto them, "I will also ask of you one
question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do
these things. The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
Answer me."
